Creating Anti-Sexist Workplaces Through Consent-Forward Training

Sexual Harassment Prevention that Builds Empathy, Safety, and Lasting Change

Every employee deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered in their workplace. However, our studies reveal that 53% of respondents reported experiencing sexual harassment in the past year. Traditional training programs often lack the depth and compassion needed to truly address the underlying issues.

The Shift Work Shop offers a unique, proactive approach to harassment prevention that goes beyond checking boxes and into cultivating a culture of respect and empathy. We empower teams with knowledge, tools, and the confidence to build workplaces that actively resist sexism, promote equity, and foster open communication.

Our Approach: Empowering Transformation through Compassionate Education

At The Shift Work Shop, we prioritize a nuanced, and empathy-centered approach that recognizes the complexities of human relationships in professional environments. Our programs are designed to:

  • Foster Safer, More Inclusive Cultures
    We address power dynamics and open communication, equipping employees to feel confident in identifying and preventing harassment and building respectful workplaces.

  • Cultivate Empathy and Awareness
    Through experiential learning and guided discussions, participants connect with real-world scenarios that increase sensitivity to gender bias, assumptions, and their impact.

  • Comply with Federal and State Requirements, with an Evolved Perspective
    Our programs not only meet but exceed New York State and City standards, ensuring compliance while addressing the nuances of interpersonal interactions at work.
